Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Feed Your Head: The Great Jefferson Airplane Deep Dive is an audio documentary that was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the almighty Jefferson Airplane. It includes long-form interviews, commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release. 

Part 3 of the series covers the very early years of the band in the style of an audiobook documentary, as the Airplane’s original visionary Marty Balin seeks out the best of the best and winds up pulling together a band that will soon change the course of music history.

Here are just a few of the many things discussed in this episode of Discograffiti:

Marty Balin’s early music dalliances;

Piecing together his dream band, one member at a time;

The unbelievable first original that they performed;

Marty’s genius plan to foist his band on San Francisco with a true splash;

Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady: the origin story of a 70-year musical love affair;

The incredibly rare first recording by Jack & Jorma;

How Jorma was seduced into the Airplane;

The true origin of the band’s name;

The bargaining chip used by their first manager Matthew Katz to convince the group that he was their man; 

And their public debut as a band.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with podcast OG Joe Kennedy about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output, with commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release, including long-form interviews with both Johnny Echols and the members of Baby Lemonade, who’ve served as Love now for coming up on 35 years. 7 & 7 & 7 Is: The Definitive 21-Episode Story Of Arthur Lee & Love was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the almighty Love. 

Part 14 covers the Hendrix-heavy moves of the False Start era, as Arthur’s Love greeted the new decade with his spirited take on the funk-inflected hard rock of the time, yet another large stylistic move away from the Forever Changes era that his fans so desperately craved.

Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

The rekindling of Arthur’s friendship with his old buddy Jimi Hendrix only months before his death;

Details about the session during which Jimi joined Love, and what was played;

The major similarities—and glaring differences—between Arthur & Jimi;

The band that Arthur and Jimi were supposedly planning on assembling before his untimely passing;

The crumbling of this next line-up, as the substance imbibing begin to gain steam in Arthur’s life;

That time Arthur got arrested for zapping people with a cattle prod;

And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off False Start.

Discograffiti is the deep-dive podcast for music obsessives. Host Dave Gebroe talks with legendary Jefferson Airplane bassist Jack Casady about the classic psych band’s entire recorded output (for over a dozen hours total), with commentary on their history, wild stories, and star ratings for every release. Feed Your Head: The Great Jefferson Airplane Deep Dive was consciously crafted to act as the ultimate repository of fact and opinion on one of the greatest bands to ever walk the face of the earth, the almighty Jefferson Airplane. As a celebration of the kick-off to what is going to be one hell of a wild ride, THIS ENTIRE EPISODE WILL BE AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE ON DISCOGRAFFITI’S PUBLIC STREAM! (...with the implied agreement that, in return, you’ll subscribe to our Patreon to tune in to the rest of the series!) 

Going in to this interview, I was under the impression that this might be the only time I’d ever get with Jack. However, after he experienced the legendary “Discograffiti effect,” Jack generously afforded me carte blanche to talk at great length about each of the Airplane’s records. Part 2 is from my first interview with Jack, in which we cover his life story from the Summer of Love up to the late 1980s Airplane reunion.

Here are just a few of the many things that Jack discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

Monterey Pop, Woodstock, & Altamont;

How he rolled with Paul Kantner’s more revolutionary material;

The details behind how Jack wound up playing on Jimi Hendrix’s “Voodoo Chile”;

How speed skating may have saved his life during the dissolution of Jefferson Airplane;

The wilderness years, during which Jack did some of his most vital work as bassist for the San Francisco punk band SVT;

His true feelings on the 1989 Airplane reunion;

And making After Bathing At Baxter’s, Crown Of Creation, Bless Its Pointed Little Head, Volunteers, Bark, Long John Silver, and Jefferson Airplane.

So it was exactly six years ago this month that primary SOS host Rudy Fischmann started work on an ill-advised project— a rock opera. It was ill-advised because Rudy is actually living with brain cancer, and lacks enough left hand coordination to actually play any instruments traditionally, nor the energy. Still, he’s managed to pull it off with the help of 60 other people from 12 nations around the globe. It may not be major musical history, but it’s an absolute first of its kind. 

So minor music history?

The whole thing serves as a fundraiser for two great cancer charities… both very closely associated with rock opera kings The Who. We’re talking about Teen Cancer America and the Teenage Cancer Trust in the UK. 

So check out this podcast to learn more about this big, dumb idea that became a brilliant reality, and some of the people who helped make it possible. 

To learn more specifics on the rock opera and its fundraising component, visit: https://www.episode18.com

It's simple, really: the music is free, but make a donation to either charity and you're entitled (if you want) to digital downloads, a printed booklet of liner notes, and a lyric/story script. Rudy's not looking to fill your life with clutter... just to get you to take a listen to his music, and for you to share some love with teens going through cancer.

All music is available on most music streaming apps and YouTube. Just search for “Episode 18” by That Cancer Life.

Get to know your new music-obsessed friends in Rudy Fischmann's fascinating podcast-within-a-podcast, The Discograffiti Soldiers Of Sound Podcast, created exclusively by & for Discograffiti's Patreon "Soldiers of Sound" community, where you get to be the guest!

Part 13 covers the first two releases by a brand new Love—Four Sail & Out Here—which features a wild, powerhouse performance style that couldn’t possibly be more different from what had preceded it.

Here are just a few of the many things that Joe discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:

How Arthur found the musicians that would populate the second iteration of Love;

The massive stylistic differences with which the new Love boldly led;

The wild drug habits of the new crop of guys;

Insane stories about Arthur’s dog from that era, which was named Self;

The very unique recording situation that begat both records;

The track selection process that was agreed upon by Elektra’s Jac Holzman and Blue Thumb’s Bob Krasnow;

The details behind the abjectly disastrous one-off reunion of the original Love for one final live performance;

And an in-depth, track-by-track deep dive on every song off Four Sail & Out Here.
